I've seen a few since I started looking. Not many though.

Are you having this problem all the time, or just when using a book light? I can tell you that using a book light can be frustrating with the nook. There is literally one position that I can use mine (angled from the left side) and not get a glare or reflection. Now that I know that position though, it is not an issue (though I rarely read in the dark).
I find the reflections in that glossy black surround to be intrusive in just about any lighting. If I try, I can sometimes find a position where there's no light reflected but it's not easy because each side is angled and at least one side will pick up some light source. Hold up your Nook and take a look and you'll see what I mean - I'll admit too that I'm overly sensitive with stuff like this and I, for instance, also refuse to buy "home" laptops that have glossy screens.

Oh well.
